I was wondering how can someone remember their past lives (considering you believe in them). Would it be possible to gain some knowledge you had in your past lives that way. If you have any experience on this or you know anything on recalling your Post lives please post, I want to hear everything. Thanks.

Well, the theory is that even though your body that contains your astral body changes, the astral body itself does not. People have also been theorizing that it is possible for the astral body to retain memory. Ergo, once you physically die and get reincarnated there is a chance of your astral body retaining memory if its past life. The only thing people argue that you need to do is access the astral bodys memory. Meditation and speaking with your "higher self" is usually the method to go. I heard hypnosis has some good results though, so you may want to look into that.

thanks, I'll start researching a bit more, it may be usefull if I succeed.

[issacweirdo]

No problem. Hopefully you'll get something.

I searched a little today and I found out that there are numerous recorded cases of people remembering their past lives, first one dates from 19th century. Scientists can't prove it nor say it's not real. I also found a meditation technique which may work.

I thought a little about it myself, why do we forget all about that? So if we assume we have always the same astral body/soul from the beginning of our existence, it records our past lives and remembers them, but we get new physical body every reincarnation which has a blank brain  . We are limited to our physical body and because of our blank brand new brain we do not recall our past lives. Only by getting in touch with our astral body we can recall them. Just my theory.

[issacweirdo]

No, that's pretty much the theory. However, anyone should have access to them. I suppose the reason why, assuming this is real, people can't remember their past-lives is because it might be detrimental towards the persons health. I mean, think about it; remembering your past life will only get in the way of remembering your current life. You'll be stuck with your memories, so your view of reality will slowly begin to distort itself. You will then truly begin to feel that your previous lives was your "home", but your current life is nothing compared to your past. Memories of the past might incite guilt or depression, so maybe not remembering them is a good thing. Let us assume the astral body wants its vessel to live as long as it can. Therefore it must increase its survival rate. Having past memories will only be a hindrance;^ look above. It could then "seal" the bodys access to the astral body. If this is done then not only will the person forget about their past life, but they will also forget they even have an astral body in the first place. This will then consequently make the body more focused on actual reality, thus increasing its awareness.

Yes I agree to that, but recalling your past lives may get you access to some of your previous knowledge that's why I want to try it out. I'll try it out when I get the chance now I work on obe-s so if I get unsuccessful attempt I might continue meditation for this.

If the theory that past lives is true, it may be possible, but first the person must have a past live. At the very least, right? ( Note that the human population on earth have increased quite a lot as compared to the past, so the person may be a new being in existence maybe? )

[Knifewalker]

I am fairly certain that past lives have spoken to me, for reasons I do not fully understand, and have taught me many things I could not have otherwise known. Of course, it's entirely possible that I'm just crazy.

[issacweirdo]

Thanks for saying that cccy, since you made me remember another argument. Trying to get accuracy on ones past life depends in the first place if you even had a past life. However, you can't PROVE that you had a past life, unless you can guarantee you never heard this name in your life and you can accurately guess their life details. Most people claim to have past lives where the governments didn't keep such records, or that their past body didn't keep a journal, so for all we know the person can be AOLing the whole thing. I can't remember the title right now, but there was this book I got from Barnes & Noble that talked about this scientist who went to places like Lebanon to gather experiences of reincarnation. He got this mostly from kids, since it's hard to fake their stories. What he then did is go back to their houses like ten years later to hear their stories again. It was an interesting book at first, but since you are interested in reincarnation it should be of immense help to you. Let me try to dig it up...

yes, I agree to that, and all elese stated. I heard not long ago about a young boy that remembers his past life where he was a pilot in word war 2. He died somewhere above sea fighthing the Japanese pilots. He can name all his friends and sister from his past life. He also remembers details of airplane he flew in and how to operate it.

Just to add, there's a possibility of a human to be an animal of some other forms of live in the past life perhaps?

I'll take a look at that book if I could find it.

[issacweirdo]

It's an okay book, since the journalist takes a kind of unbiased perspective in the beginning. Yet frankly speaking, I was SO bored, so I stopped halfway. It has some good stories though, so if you have nothing to do it's a good time-waster.

I have been told by voices that I am Chiron (they said I got it wrong) Hmm and a star child from a bad alien race. Another voice said they had no idea what a bad alien race is. (people not undstanding a word I say is a common complaint.) All I know is that it seems to me I was floating around and entered the egg very happy to get started. Then I heard talking and remember the sex act that concieved me from the perspective of the egg. Then I remember most of time in the womb. Then I remember being born and what a piece of crap that was. You get the idea. I was not born yesterday. Stupid baby tricks. Called a foreign country at about 1 year old and got about 3 blocks away from home at 1.5 years. Can remember my thoughts before I knew english. I do remember that I could understand english long before I could speak it. I was a visibly depressed baby though I am very happy now.
